Step-by-Step Instructions

  3. Mix in creamy peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually blend the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet with enough space between each.
